Earl is such a wise piggy! Love the table. Lily of the valley! I used to have some at our old house. I need to plant some here. I just love the smell of it. My white hyacinths are just now blooming. They smell so good! Great job on the table and I just love what you got with your gift card! Where did you find that?!

Hi Lynn, I love this little tablescape with the delicious smelling lily-of-the-valley flowers. I wish that they lasted for months and months - their season is so very short which make them even more precious. Our apple tree is in bloom along with my favorite, lilacs! The daffodils are still pretty perky here as well. We just returned from Italy so I'm finally back visiting my favorite blogs. Hope all is well! Ciao, bella!

I love your simple, lovely, touches. Your little dainty whites are adorable. Some of the things I see are just over the top. You are a true homemaker, always welcome at my table and I'd love to sit up to yours for a little gingered crisp! No wonder you can't get rid of Earl...@

One of my favorite things is putting what's blooming on my table. I love both bridal veil and lily of the valley. The first one we see around here a lot (not right now, but a few weeks ago). The LOTV I don't see. Never thought about that until now. I'm making a mental note to ask Mom about that.

Hi Lynn, I too love lily of the valley. I do not have any but my sister does and it is beautiful. It grows all around her tree. It smells so good. Your rhubarb crisp looks delicious. Which reminds me I am growing some and I should check if any of it is ready to pick. I love rhubarb and I saw that recipe too.

Earl is such a camera... hog! Doesn't lilly of the valley make you swoon? So so pretty.Congrats on your win and new flatware. Better to scoop up all that Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! Yummy! What a great post!Yvonne

Lynn, love those red handled pieces of perfection!! Your new flatware would just about make anything sparkle. I love lily of the valley and cannot grow it here, or haven't been successful. but will keep trying. Have a very happy mother's day.

Whoohooo,I'm just giddy too see Earl!And congrats on your winnings.I can almost smell the Lilly of the Valley if Earl wasn't hawgin'!I have to confess I've never had rhubarb(can I get it in southeast Ga.and do I buy fresh or canned or frozen?),I think I need to make it my mission to get some and try this recipe,YUM!~JoLazyonLoblolly

Lily of the Valley is one of my favorite flowers...in my last yard I had tons of them (to the point that we were trying to kiil some because they were taking over) and I also spy a nice Fenton Milk glass basket, too...your table looks so inviting!

Such a beautiful table. I absolutely love the red vase with the lily of the valley. Love the red flatware. What is the source on the flatware? I just love strawberry/rhubarb pie. This is a new wrinkle. Worth giving it a try.

Great flatware and I love the lilly of the valley. Your post makes me think of my Dad. His birthday was May 10th and the lilly of the valledy were always blooming or his birthday. He also loved Strawberry Rhubarb Pie!

My mother had Lilies of the Valley. AFter my parents died I tried transplanting them from Wisconsin to Utah and they came up one year but that was it. I just replanted some this year that I got from Sam's. I haven't seen anything yet, but so hope they bloom. I had them in my bridal bouquet!

Strawberry rhubarb is one of my favorite combinations. How did your recipe turn out? I love lilys of the valley and am sad I will likely miss them this year as we will not be returning to Maine until they are gone. Maybe one or two will still be blooming in the shaded areas....I hope.
